You'll see a split pin holding the gear lever to the rod on the gearbox. Remove it together with the thin washer and replace with a thicker steel washer and refit the pin. Problem solved.

( It's the joint right at the bottom of this pic that you're looking for.)

BTW.
I've sprayed some Liqui Moly Tacky Lube Spray in there as well for good measure.

EDIT:


Special thanks to @Freedom who noticed the loose washer.

Anyone know the size of this washer? ID/OD?
